I think uniforms should be allowed in school. They should be allowed because if the kids wear uniforms in which they have to wear their shirts tucked in and have on decent length skirts then they'll look more presentable in public, and they'll also represent their school better. Uniforms will also be easier on the parents since the the kids are wearing a limited variety every day. This cuts spending on different outfits every month.

A song that I really like is called "Where would you go" by Babyface. He is a famous R&B singer and I love all of his music, but this particular song I love the most. Everytime I hear it I have to sing along. The smooth melody takes me into a happy place. In certain parts where he'll start to hit a high note I'll try and hit it exactly like him. I listen to the song everyday. I recommend it to everyone in the world!

FLORIDA STATE

Leadership is a characteristic of Florida State University (FSU) that interests me the most. Leadership appeals most to me because leadership is very important in everything you do, whether it’s at work, at school, on the football field, or even at church. Leadership is very important. It takes a well rounded institution to base its organization upon having leadership. I say this because it is not easy to be a leader, and not everyone can do it. It comes with great responsibility, accountability, setting standards, and also perseverance. When an institution says its program is based off of leadership, that lets me know that they also have character and integrity, which is very important to have at a school.

FSU’s leadership in academics as well as sports interests me also. With my major being medical science, I already know I’ll have what I need to be successful before I even set foot on campus because FSU has some of the best research facilities dealing with medicine and injury care prevention. With a university basing itself off of leadership, that tells me that I am safe and taken care of at that school and they will look after me. If a school has a bad habit of messing up student scheduling and having bad professors, then this is a sign of bad leadership, and I probably will not feel safe and secure there.

With me also being a student-athlete I also want to make sure that I have coaches that can be great role models to me and set high standards in everything I do, so I can be the best that I can be. I’ve heard many good things about FSU’s football coaching staff. Their football team is nationally ranked and the coaches are great as far as having character and being leaders on and off the field, thus paving the way for their players to follow.

Going to a university where they treat their student-athletes with good respect means a lot to me. Student first is everything. Football is a great avenue, but I know that football will not last forever, but I do know that a great education can never be taken away from you and with a university having great leadership, I know I can put my trust in them and know that I will be successful and get the best education. I also greatly consider FSU because by the school having great leadership characteristics, then that means some of the schools leadership capabilities will fall on me. This is so because a person is only affected by their surroundings. If you go to an area where there is very bad schooling, education, and teaching, that probably means that the students there won’t be that successful because they have not been challenged and pushed as far as education goes, and we all know, the real world is full of challenges. In life, it’s all about the “best” man winning, and with FSU, I feel as though I could become that “best” man.

The most interesting thing that happened last week was that I went to the Florida vs. LSU game on Saturday. Before the game started, almost everyone thought Florida was going to lose because LSU was ranked number 2 in the country while Florida was ranked number 17.

When I first came into the stands there were tens of thousands of screaming fans showing their gator pride while LSU had their fans cheering them on also. The whole atmosphere made me happy to watch the game.

When the game started I was on my toes because I didn’t know what was going to happen and the next thing I know BOOM; touchdown here, BOOM, touchdown there. As the game started to wind down and LSU was up by a couple of points, I thought to myself “Oh no, I hope Florida doesn’t give this game away”, then a couple of plays later the Gators score a touchdown to win the game! I was very excited because no one really expected them to win but they proved everyone wrong! Now they are undefeated and have moved to number 10 in ranking. So the lesson is, no matter what the press says, anything is possible with hard work. Go Gators!
